[quote=Anonymous]We did it, OP, for just once child. DH was in graduate school and not earning but we felt it was important to have an educated and engaged nanny for DS until he was three. My son got to sleep in his own bed and was rarely sick. Our nanny believed in RIE engagement and talked to him, narrated for him, read to him and sang to him pretty much all the time. His receptive communication was off the chart at a year old. Our nanny also used to walk miles to take him to two different libraries and their storytimes as well as any other free program. She set up play dates and playgroups with other kids his age all the time. It was a huge expense for us and we basically cut out all extras like dinners out, vacations, new clothes, even coffee. We both brow bagged it for lunch. It was worth it. [/quote]
